For the past couple of weeks I’ve baked these cookies a number of times, tweaking the recipe each time. Now I can’t seem to stop eating them, so I had better share them around … too dangerous to keep. It’s the combination of orange and ginger that I am loving so much.
With the first batch that I made, the dough went into the fridge overnight. They were way too hard to shape, but I did manage it, after warming them to room temperature again. Because of this I reduced the quantity of flour and now they are way better. Nice and easy to drop onto a cookie sheet while they are warm and then chill them.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
